Chapter 538: The Whispers of the Dragons

The world full of bones suddenly disappeared.

Liu Ping and Delia returned to the cave again.

Those ghost shadows danced around the two of them for a while before gradually disappearing into the void.

"Eh? Why did they leave? "Delia asked in confusion.

"You’re a senior. If you don’t know, how would a newcomer like me know?" Liu Ping said.

"Strange ... Should we return to the camp now or continue exploring?" Delia muttered to herself.

A voice suddenly sounded from the darkness:

"Continue exploring! We can’t give up just like that. "

Aland left the void, his handsome face looking ferocious and distorted.

"I’ve already used up all my merits. There’s no way out."

He said in a tone that suggested he was cutting off all means of retreat.

Delia and Liu Ping fell into silence.

Just as Aland had said, he had wasted more than half a day, but in the end, he had used up all his merits.

If he returned to the camp now and started accumulating merits again, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the four guys guarding the camp.

They already had a lot of merits, and they would only have more now.

Aland only had half a day left.

Then ...

Tonight, the person who would be thrown into the Conversion Pool would definitely be Aland.

"Delia, help me. I’m a Sword Saint. I’m invincible in battle with you. Please!" Aland stared at Delia and said in a begging tone.

Killing intent surged from his body.

"Forget it, let’s continue exploring." Delia pretended not to know and said indifferently.

On the expeditionary army interface, lines of small words suddenly appeared:

’[Alan, Merit: 0. Applying to rejoin the current mission.]’

’[The temporary team leader is Delia. Please decide whether to accept him into the team.]’

After waiting for a moment.

Another line of small words appeared:

’[Delia has allowed Alan to join the team.]’

After reading these messages, Aland nodded at Delia and said, "Thank you. I owe you a favor."

"A favor? Put away your tricks and go back to earn merits. Remember to give me 500 merits. Deal? "Delia asked.

"Deal." Aland smiled.

"Okay, then let’s continue forward and see what’s ahead," Delia said.

Liu Ping looked at the longsword on Aland’s waist.

Sword Saint?

He looked like a magic-type Sword Saint, but also a little like a barbaric-type Sword Saint of the ancient race.

His close-combat skills should be very high.

I have to be careful when dealing with him ...

At this time, Aland calmed down a little and asked in confusion, "How did you avoid that situation just now?"

"Just now? I’m guessing that the team triggered a trap card just now. After killing a few people, the card was exhausted and could no longer maintain the spell. "Delia glanced at Liu Ping discreetly and said seriously.

"I see. This seems to be the only reason that makes sense ... You guys are fortunate," Aland said.

Suddenly.

A voice rang in Liu Ping’s ears.

"Help us."

Liu Ping looked around and saw the small words "Evil Vanquishing Dragon Spirit" not far away from him.

"Help you? Who are you? "he asked.

"We are whatever you are looking for," the voice replied.

"What a joke. I only joined the expeditionary army halfway through because I wanted to become stronger," Liu Ping said.

He glanced at the void of space.

A line of burning words floated there motionlessly:

[You’ve retracted all your abilities and did not use the Occultism ability: Deception]

Yes.

This was just a test. If the other party really believed it, then it would be over.

Sure enough, the voice said, "That’s definitely not the case ... You have the title of Saint, so you’re definitely not an ordinary person. Please help us save the Green Dragon. We will definitely repay you."

At this point, the voice disappeared.

Liu Ping pretended not to care and looked out of the cliff.

He saw that the Dragon Spirit had already left the two of them and flew towards the dark abyss. Soon, it disappeared into the depths of the cliff and could not be seen.

Why did it leave?

As Liu Ping was thinking, he suddenly felt a protruding thing under his feet.

He moved his feet and looked down.

There was a bronze object on the ground. He didn’t know what it was, but when Liu Ping looked at it, it immediately flashed.

Interesting.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and the object immediately flew into his hand.

Aland and Delia immediately noticed it and turned to look at him together.

"What’s wrong?" Delia asked.

"I picked up something ..." Liu Ping played with the bronze object.

It was a small and exquisite bronze key. The handle was carved in the shape of a dragon, and it looked very lifelike. Occasionally, it would burst forth with a slight energy fluctuation.

Aland and Delia took out a piece of spectacle lens at the same time and stuck it on their left eye.

"It’s an authentic Dragon Treasure Key. The magic barrier on it is intact and hasn’t been used for thousands of years."

Delia looked at the rows of data on the spectacle lens and said.

"That’s right. The value of such an intact Dragon Treasure Key is immeasurable. If it can really open the corresponding treasure vault, then it’s even more incredible," Aland said.

The two of them took off their spectacles and looked at Liu Ping together.

Aland said with a burning gaze, "Delia, I think we can form an alliance ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Delia had already interrupted him and quickly said, "According to the twelfth military rule of the expeditionary army, even trainee members have the right to explore and obtain treasures. Congratulations, Liu Ping. You’ve found this key."

A line of small words quickly appeared on the expeditionary army’s sequence interface.

’[Temporary Captain Delia reported the harvest:]’

’[Item: Dragon Treasure Key.]’

’[Discoverer: Liu Ping.]’

A helpless expression appeared on Aland’s face.

He was no longer the captain and had no right to assign a name to a member and kill him.

More importantly, Delia had already reported this discovery to the headquarters.

In that case, if he wanted to obtain this key privately, there was almost no room for manipulation.

"Liu Ping, your harvest should also belong to your partners in the exploration. You should share some merits with us," Aland added.

Liu Ping looked at the two of them and laughed. "Of course."

He weighed the key in his hand and continued, "I’m just a trainee member. I don’t have to participate in the merit assessment at night. I might as well take it out and let you use it."

Aland’s eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up. "Good job, Liu Ping. I didn’t misjudge you."

Delia glanced at Liu Ping and said telepathically, "Remember Aland. Don’t provoke him easily. If I didn’t report it to the headquarters immediately, he would definitely find a way to kill you and snatch the bronze key in your hand to exchange for merits."

"You’ve been helping me. Thank you," Liu Ping said.

"You’re welcome. You should be the one who saved me just now. I’m not that stupid. I can tell," Delia said.

The two of them looked at each other and quickly looked away.

"Aland, I can give up this key completely, but I’ve always been interested in the dragon race. Can you give me that green dragon?" Liu Ping asked.

"It died last night. Only its corpse is left," Aland said regretfully.

"What? Why didn’t you say so last night? "Delia said in surprise.

"How would I know this would happen? I just tortured it a little and it died. Maybe the injuries on its body were too serious," Aland said with annoyance.

Liu Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As soon as this feeling came, he had some guesses.

"It’s fine if it’s dead. Give it to me and I’ll take out the key. You and Delia can share it," Liu Ping said.

"No problem." Aland took out a card and threw it to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping caught the card and saw that there was indeed a green dragon corpse covered in blood lying on it.

Lines of small burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[Card: Dead Green Dragon (Fake)]

[This is a dead green dragon. Before it died, it cursed itself and prayed that the enemy would not get any benefits from it. Therefore, its corpse has rotted and has no value.]

[Of course, all deceit will be exposed in front of you, so this card is fake.]

[The following is the true face of the card:]

[Card: Sleeping Green Dragon.]

[The green dragon is a dragon that is proficient in deception, illusion, and dream magic. It has restrained all its aura and is recuperating in the dream world, waiting for the opportunity to escape from Aland.]

As expected ...

It was said that the dragon race was very scheming and would not die so easily. Now, it seemed that it made sense.

Liu Ping sighed regretfully. "It’s a pity that it’s dead and rotted. It’s completely useless."

As he spoke, he kept the card in his card tome.

In order to prevent this dragon from causing any more trouble, he directly transmitted his voice.

"Don’t pretend to be dead anymore. The evil vanquishing dragon spirit told me to save you."

On the card, the green dragon was motionless.

However, a voice transmission sounded in Liu Ping’s ears. "I can feel your title, Lord Saint. Just in case, I’ll pretend to be dead for a while more, in case your two treacherous companions notice anything."

"Up to you," Liu Ping said.

He directly kept the card tome.

"I’ve given you the dragon corpse. You can hand over the key, Liu Ping," Aland said with a smile on his face.

Liu Ping threw the key over.

Aland caught it and looked at it carefully for a long time. Finally, he let out a long breath and said, "There’s no problem. It seems that I don’t have to go to the Conversion Pool tonight."

He was full of fighting spirit again.

"It’s not right to exchange a rotten dead dragon for this key from Liu Ping," Delia said.

"It’s okay. We’ll give him some more merits later as compensation." Aland waved his hand.

"That’s more like it. We can’t mistreat our own people," Delia said with satisfaction.

"Hmph, you’re quite like a captain. Let’s go. Let’s go down and see what’s here," Aland said.

He had already taken the lead and flew forward. Delia also moved forward. Liu Ping suppressed his thoughts and continued to move forward with the two of them.

The long stairs kept turning down along the mountain and went all the way into the bottomless dark abyss.

The three of them spent almost an hour to reach the end of the stairs.

This place was extremely deep underground, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with cold frost.

Two huge bronze doors stood on the mountain wall. The doors were engraved with various ancient murals, showing the glory of the Dragon Clan.

"It’s the Dragon Clan’s treasure."

Aland said with a hoarse voice.

He walked forward with the key in his hand, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it forcefully.

Rumble!

The door suddenly opened.
